Just picked up mine, very respectable casing, feels solid. Without studying it in details, there's only a Micro SD slot on it, why do they advertise SDXC compatibility, or was the slot hidden somewhere ? On the way home so no time to check it out thoroughly.

It's actually sdxc micro sd. It's just the way it's written on the ad copy. Yeah, it can get confusing.

To be perfectly honest I'm seriously rooting for Fiio or iBasso to continue to make excellent pocketable DAPs at reasonable prices. It wasn't fun when my options were AK100 or AK120 just 4 months back in May this year....

Fiio is coming out with an X5 and iBasso will probably come out with a DX75 next year.

Right now, there is a 64GB SDXC (exFAT) sitting in my DX50 and it works like a charm.
I don't see the problem here.

I just re-worded my post as a huge number of people seem to be either offended by it, reading too much into it or simply misunderstanding what I was trying to say.

Here is the new wording:

EDITED FOR CLARIFICATION: I was discussing the DX50 vs the Fiio X3 with an "industry insider". According to him, the DX50 is a better value for money than the X3, judging only by the cost of the parts/implementation.

Comparing the X3 and the DX50 in terms of value for money, let's look at the cost of the components where the DX50 is betterdifferent than the X3:

Did you actually turn it on? It sounds like you are just getting the charging screen. Try holding down the power button a bit longer?

Thanks Sorensiim for taking the time to reply. Yes I did hold the power button longer and even did battery pull but same thing happened ( green circle with charged on it). Finally resolved the problem by entering into recovery mode and reboot. Managed to update the firmware to 1.15.
